• Resumen

  • Partial Latin squares constitute an interesting approach to improve the teaching of different subjects in the mathematics classroom. This paper delves into this topic by introducing the use of a Dynamic Geometry System to deal with these combinatorial structures as a source of loci of points in the Euclidean plane. It is assumed to this end that the distance matrix among all these points contains a zerodiagonal symmetric partial Latin square with at least one non-zero filled cell per row.
